Default So how low can i go

forget the turbo for now i have gas bills, so how low can i go without the camber kits i hear its around 1.9 inches?

also will the alignment shop be able to fix the camber wear with no problem? i hear the tc needs new control arms if its dropped past a certain height

what springs should i buy for a nice comfortable feel, i know it will be bouncy later when the shocks go but for now it should be fine =D

looking at H&R's
Hotchixs or however u spell it
H-techs
or eibach

Thanks a lot guys i hope to meet some of you when im not stock anymore haha

I'd go hotchkis, nice even drop. Gives the car a nice stance too, about 1 finger gap all around. Then again I'm biased lol

the best drop is h techs for me...1.8 on the front and 1.4 in the rear...no need for camber....some people likes their rides slammed to the ground...not me on l.a. roads

between all 4 of your choice's i'd have to say hotckis unless you meant the eibach sportline which are good as well. eibach prokit and H&R are abit too high for my taste and H-tech is alright.

I say go with Progress since I hear they are really comfortable and it's a even drop. Eibach springs tend to sag a little over time. H&R is great too but the drop isn't low enough imo. Try to stay away from Hotchkis if you are in a area that snows a lot cause a couple of people on here had the springs break on them because of rust.

The rear is the one that needs the camber links if you drop it more than 2.0 inches. The front should be fine and really no need to replace it unless you want it to have a more aggressive stance.
